Annie Blog Post #1

I was absent last week due to a family emergency but was able to catch up with Jason on Thursday afternoon. Jason caught me up to date about the meeting the group had had in class and what was expected for next week. Jason also, however, missed the meeting with the Homeless Youth Organization. Since we both missed the meeting, we had to come up with a third idea about how we wanted the video to pan out. It was, at first, very challenging! We thought that we had recieved one of the hardest tasks. The group had already come up with a documentary and narrative form video. That left Jason and I to create a skit video, but we both hated the idea of using such a light type of acting on a heavy subject. It took some time, but we figured out an idea. It was exciting when it all came together. It isn't as good as the other ideas, but the amount of time we spent trying to figure it out made it worth while in the end. I am really looking forward to this semester and the outcome of our groups' video.
